41-year-old Nigerian man, Obinna Igbokwe, has been accused of shooting and killing a woman during a child custody dispute, after which he fled with the three-month-old baby in Texas, United States.
The Texas Department of Public Safety on Wednesday issued an Amber Alert for the abducted baby, Mansa Igbokwe.
According to KBTX , the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Obinna shot the baby’s mother and grandmother at about 7:30 p.m. in the 30100 block of Aldine Westfield Road in Spring, Texas.
According to deputies, Igbokwe and his wife, Tangela Igbokwe, were having an argument over custody of their son, Mansa, which led up to the shooting.
Reports say the baby’s mother, Tangela and grandmother, Linda Larkins, were shot in the head.
Tangela was taken to a local emergency room where she is listed in critical condition. The grandmother, Linda Larkins, succumbed to her wounds at the scene, deputies said.
The baby was last seen wearing a white onesie with pictures. He has long, curly hair, investigators said.
The suspect is possibly wearing a tan shirt and brown pants. He is about six feet tall and weighs about 190 pounds. Obinna Igbokwe has black hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen driving a 2008 model Honda Accord with Texas license plate KMY0702 in the area of Interstate 45 and Highway 105.
Investigators believe he is armed and dangerous. “Do not approach him. Please call police if you see him or the white car,” deputies said.
